Temporary E-mailLots of websites request your e-mail address before letting you proceed any further such as insurance companies, you know that it’s going to get you loads of junk mail (spam), so wouldn’t it be nice to have a temporary e-mail address.

PhishingPhishing is the process of attempting to obtain such things as user names, passwords, credit card details. It works like this, an e-mail will arrive in your inbox saying it’s from a bank, building society or ebay etc with a message such as, "we are upgrading our system could you renew your details by clicking this link". The link then takes you to a fake (spoofed) website that looks just like the real one, where you then give away all your details.
